1. Using the story of Pavlov’s dogs, identify and give an example of two of the four elements of classical conditioning.-Classical conditioning: is a form of learning in which one stimulus, the conditioned stimulus or CS, comes to signal the occurrence of a second stimulus, the unconditioned stimulus or US. Ex: Pavlov presented dogs with a ringing bell (CS) followed by food (US). The food (US) elicited salivation (UR), and after repeated bell-food pairings the bell also caused the dogs to salivate (CR).
2. Describe stimulus generalization and give an example.- Stimulus generalization: is the tendency for the conditioned stimulus to evoke similar responses after the response has been conditioned. For example, if a child has been conditioned to fear a stuffed white rabbit, it will exhibit fear of objects similar to the conditioned stimulus such as a white toy rat.
3. Describe a conditioned emotional response and give an example.- The conditioned response: is the learned response to the previously neutral stimulus.
For example, let's suppose that the smell of food is an unconditioned stimulus, a feeling of hunger in response the the smell is a unconditioned response, and a the sound of a whistle is the conditioned stimulus. The conditioned response would be feeling hungry when you heard the sound of the whistle.
4. Describe vicarious conditioning and give an example.- Vicarious conditioning: learning emotional response by watching...

Quiz Review for Weeks 5 and 6
1. Find the area under the standard normal curve between z = 1.6 and z = 2.6.
First we look for the area of both by doing “2nd ,Vars, NORMALCDF” and inputting “-1000, “Z,” 0, 1 then find the difference between both.
2. A business wants to estimate the true mean annual income of its customers. It randomly samples 220 of its customers. The mean annual income was $61,400 with a standard deviation of $2,200. Find a 95% confidence interval for the true mean annual income of the business’ customers.
First we find E by doing Zc(standard deviation/square root of number of trials.) Now we add and subtract that number from the mean income to find both endpoints. The Zc of 95% is 1.96 so we would do 1.96((2200)/square root of 220) giving us 290.71. Now if we subtract that from the mean income, we get 61109.29 as the left endpoint and 61690.71 as the right endpoint.
3. IQ test scores are normally distributed with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15. An individual's IQ score is found to be 120. Find the z-score corresponding to this value. “X-mean/standard deviation. (120-100)/15
4. Two high school students took equivalent language tests, one in German and one in French. The student taking the German test, for which the mean was 66 and the standard deviation was 8, scored an 82, while the student taking the French test, for which the mean was 27 and the standard deviation was 5, scored a 35. Compare the scores. Same...

LECTURE:
Plate Tectonics Chap.2
-Until ~1915 people thought continents were stuck were they are and they didn’t move.
Why did ideas change?
-Wegener’s proposed the theory of Continental Drift
It proposed that all continents move and that at one time they had all been fused together in a supercontinent called Pangaea.
-What evidence did Wegener use to support Continental Drift?
-Distribution of:
-Mtn. Belts/ Rock types/ Structures
Ex: Appalachian Mountains one large continuous mtn. belt US->Canada-> N. Europe
-Tillites: sedimentary material dumped by a glacier turned into a rock
Dinosaurs:
- Mesosaurs (similar)/ Mammals (different)
-Glossopteris flora (similar)
Glaciation:
-Can move at a rate up to 6 ft. a yr.
-Striations- pebbles in bottom of glaciers scraping/polishing/marking rocks the pass
How did Wegner propose the continents moved?
-He suggested that the continents plowed through the ocean floor at a rate of 30-meters/ year.
-The movements of the continents were caused by the tidal effect induced by the moon or the sun.
Problems with theory
1) No evidence that the continents lowing through the ocean floor
2) Continents moving at a 30-meters/...

What was it that Drew Bolt did not understand?
Drew did not know that in any organization, managers or any other top officials follow their words and when they say no, they meant no.This is common especially in organizations with bureaucratic structures.
Could the “boundaryless” concept work in some organizations?
Yes, it works. So of the companies which practice this comprises of Apple and Google. In these two companies, opinion of staff across the departments is being considered relevant. However, other companies do not practice this because of various reasons. In most cases, there are laid down rules and regulations that are followed.
Was Bolt’s fate typical for a whistleblower?
Yes, it was. His means of communication were not acceptable. It was against the rules and norms of the company, and this made him be thrown out. No one was allowed to associate with him because of his unethical actions.
In your previous experience, have you been associated with a Drew Bolt type character? What did they do? What happened to them?
I have associated with such people in my life. They were excited, and they felt that they knew what to be done tempting them to do things in their own way. Because of that, they got frustrated because they were not supported; in fact they were fired because the management felt that they cost the company in case they are allowed to continue with such behavior.

...such video applications. If your switch uses Time Slot Interchange (TSI), then what should be the RAM access time of the TSI that will enable you to do that? Note that a circuit switch forwards only one byte per input port at a time. (Show your derivation)
400 Kbytes/sec = 400/bytes/msec = 400/1000 µsec = 4/10 µsec = 1 byte/2.5 µsec Let X be the RAM time in nsec 18*2*X ≤ 2500 nsec X ≤ 2500/36 = 69.44 nsec
5. A 512 Kbps channel uses CDMA in order to support the transmissions by 16 stations. How much time (in msec) will it take one of these stations to transmit a 10000 bytes file? Station Data Rate DR=512 Kbps/16 = 32 Kbps Tx Time = 10,000*8/32000 = 2.5 sec =2500 msec
6. A 40 Mbps bus network uses CSMA/CD. If its length is 1.6 Km and the signal propagation time is 5 µsec/Km, then what is the minimum required packet size (in bytes) that will ensure that all stations will see a collision if one occurs on the channel? CSMA/CD requires that Tmin ≥ 2τ, where τ is the end-to-end propagation time. Here, τ = 1.6 Km x 5 µsec/Km = 8 µsec Tmin = 2 *8 = 16 µsec = Lmin/40 Mbps Lmin = 640 bits/8=80
7. 50 stations use a minislot based reservation access method with minislot size=12 bits. The packet size is 800 bytes. What is the efficiency of this system when there are 4 active stations (i.e., stations transmitting packets)? Note that we define efficiency as follows: efficiency= data transmission time/ (data transmission + scheduling). (show your...
